Egg concerns

[Rejoice in the Lord]

Egg A:
June 21, Boo layed this egg on the cool side of her tank.

It is candling yellow, but looking pretty much the same in the incubator.

Egg B:
The next morning (June 22), I found this egg on the hot side. It had been there a while.

It is now molding in the incubator.

Egg C:
About 5:00 in the afternoon, she did this

For obvious reasons, this one did not go into the incubator.

Egg D:
Yesterday (July 1) about 5:00 pm, she layed this one. It has only been 8/9 days since she layed the other three. She laid it on the cool side tile like she did the first one, and then stepped on it when she came out of her hide. It just bounced back though. It looks very fragile, and I was afraid to touch it, so I poured it into plastic wrap, and then poured it into the incubator. I haven't touched it since, but it still is looking jiggly like jello when I move the container it is in. This morning, it had little tiny droplets of water? all over the outside of it. I'm not sure how or why that happened either.

This was the only egg I took a pic of without the flash. With the flash, it was so shiny that all I could get was a glare. It is still funny colored though, like the color of the yellower part of egg A. I feel like it has a thin skin, but no shell. But since this is my first time too, maybe I just don't know what a good one looks like yet.

Should I be expecting her to lay another one soon? I put paper towels down just in case, since so far she has not shown any interest in any of the lay boxes I have offered her.

Is this just her being a first-timer, and still figuring things out, or is there a problem?

Is there something I can be doing to help her be sucessful?

WOW she layed 3 AND this one? That's quite a lot. I wouldn't keep my hopes for that last one, but you never know I guess! All I can advise you at this point is to make triple sure she gets calcium on a regular basis. When my female lays her clutches I dust at every feeding.

I am dusting her food at every feeding, and also have pure calcium available in her tank for her. She doesn't appear to have done anything with it though. This afternoon, I mixed a bit of her calcium with water and made it into a paste, and offered it to her like that from an eye dropper, and she licked quite a bit of it off the end of the eye dropper. I don't know. Maybe that will help?

I don't really have my hopes up for any of them. I am wondering if there is any reason to hope any of them might be good.

The one last egg appears to be infertile, but whenever there is doubt just incubate it anyway. The first two were obviously not fertile either, and I think the 3rd one was probably just an immature follicle that passed.

Thanks for your reply.

So maybe the third one and this last one belonged together.

This last one is now almost three days old, and it still feels slightly sticky to the touch. I wonder if she forgot to send it through the shell building part of the process. The others at least have some toughness to them on the outside, even if they are infertile. This one, on the other hand, is just really different.

Guess I'll keep incubating, and see what happens.

That would be my guess, too.
